Message-ID: Date: 5 Nov 90 00:01:44 GMT References: <214@alchemy.UUCP> Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 31 In-Reply-To: <214@alchemy.UUCP> I must argue with you about your position against Glen Bredon. When I bought my ancient CMC 20 meg hard drive from some guy used, it had ProSel 8 on it. This was several years ago. Before the GS came out. After a while, I found out from various people that there were newer versions than the one that I had. So I called Glen up. Let me clarify myself, I called Glen, at home, and talked to him about ProSel. I told him what version I had, and that I hadn't really bought ProSel, but that the previous owner of the drive had. Did Glen make it a problem for me to update? Nope. I mailed him five bucks, and he mailed me the latest version. Just like. No problems at all. I think most companies would consider it pirating, and make me purchase a new copy altogether. Another instance... About a year ago I was having problems with the same hard drive I mentioned above. I had an old version of the ROMs on the card for it, and GSOS wouldn't accept the drive. It's a big pain the butt to have a drive on a GS and not be able to use GS/OS at all. Welp, after posting to the net several times, and getting no help at all, I sent Glen a piece of mail asking him if he had any clue. It turned out that he had the same drive with newer ROMs. He had also disassembled the ROM and found a few bugs in it. So he fixed the bugs, burned me a copy of the ROM, and mailed it to me for free. No charge, no nothing. He covered shipping and the cost of the ROM. I haven't found Glen to be some evil guy like you have. All of my experiences with him lead me to believe that he's a pretty cool guy. Oh well. -Greg T.
